Bootcamp of Misfit Wolves

2015

Ian’s alpha tosses him out of his car at a training camp for worthless and weak wolf shifters run by a crazy vampire. His only choice is to escape and go lone wolf. Until he runs into Clare… She actually volunteered for this gig. Her wolf is all alpha but it’s crammed into a petite package, and she definitely has no mercy when it comes to him. The work is hard. The training dangerous. Surviving is optional. Clare can’t stand Ian’s disregard for her authority and he hates her driven ambition. Sparks fly and teeth are bared. Opposites attract they say. If they don’t kill each other first.

I grew up reading SFF, buying the biggest books I could with my chore money. While I loved the action, adventure, and exciting worlds, most of those stories were missing…kissing! Now I read and write paranormal romance and science fiction romance which I think mix the best of all worlds. I also write urban fantasy romance as Jessa Slade and sexy contemporary romance as Jenna Dales. I spend most of my time at my computer thinking about stories, in my garden thinking about stories, or walking my dog thinking about stories. Hmm, I think there’s a theme… 🙂

Author · 67 books

Kallysten is a writer of romance novels and short stories, most of them with paranormal elements. Her first eBooks were published by Linden Bay Romance in 2005. The defunct Venus Press subsequently published a few of her short stories. Because so many of her stories are linked as series and part of the same universe, she decided it would make sense to have them all in the same place, which is why she self-published, first with the co-op Alinar Publishing and now on her own. When she sees calls for submissions that speak to her muse, she sometimes tries for them, and was published this way by Samhain and Torquere.

Anna Lowe

USA Today and Amazon best-selling author Anna Lowe loves putting the "hero" back into heroine and letting location ignite a passionate romance. She likes a heroine who is independent, intelligent, and imperfect—a woman who's doing just fine on her own. But give the heroine a good man (not to mention a chance to overcome her own inhibitions) and she'll never turn down the chance for adventure, nor shy away from danger. On any given weekend, you might find her hiking in the mountains or hunched over her laptop, working on her latest story. Either way, the day will end with a chunk of dark chocolate and a good read.
